I Survived Black Friday.....

I HATE crowds. In all my life of shopping, and all of you know I LOVE shopping, I have never done Black Friday. Have you heard the horror stories??? Jeff used to call me when he was on graves and tell me about all the crazies in line at midnight.... Well, my good friend Jenny talked me into going with her this year. I got up at 4 A.M. Oh yes, you read that right. Most of you know that I am not a morning person, so this in itself is a MAJOR accomplishment for Jenny. Jeff asked me before I left if I was excited, and I'm not going to lie. I told him I was actually a little scared! He LAUGHED. We were at Kohl's by 5am. When we walked in there was already a line that wrapped AROUND the inside of store for check out!!!! Long story short, I actually had a great time. There were 7 of us and we took turns standing in line so that made it bearable. I actually got some really good deals at Kohl's and saved myself almost $100! I'm signing up for the crazy train again next year. That's right, I've gone to the dark side.

Holy cow--YOU got up at 4am?!? Kudos to Jenny! :-D I'm glad you had fun. Maybe next year I'll brave the crazies with you!

Good for you! I've gone the last few years, and I love it even though I hate getting up early too. I usually get most of my Christmas list done - that's my favorite part, besides saving money that is!

Scott was the one to venture out on Black Friday this year for a t.v.
He said it actually wasn't all that bad though, he was one of the first ones there.
Then we all went out later on in the day....people are INSANE on black friday!!!
